Koalas & 12 Apostles
This tour was fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. Warren, our tour guide was phenomenal and went out of his way to make sure we got multiple chances to see Koalas up in the trees. When we arrived at the 12 Apostles He pointed out the 4 different paths we could take to see different views. Warren is the best tour director.

Great koala experience with guide Warren
The Great ocean road tour with guide Warren was a fantastic experience. He was friendly, funny, informative, and interesting. I really enjoyed talking with him and learning more about Australia and Melbourne. He did a great job spotting wildlife including koalas and grey kangaroos. We got stunning looks at wild koalas, and exploring the rainforest was a lot of fun. The coastal views along great ocean road were amazing. Overall, this was a great day.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea cost?
+
Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,098 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea?
+
Around 384 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk and Morning Tea start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
